"Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly."

Talk show host Steve Harvey is making headlines again, but this time for what some deem to be rigid rules for his television staff. In a newly leaked office memo, the 60-year-old comedian outlines what can and cannot be done based upon him being "taken advantage of in the past" due to his "lenient policy."

In the memo, Harvey makes it clear he will not tolerate anyone "stopping by or popping" into his dressing, and the only way in is if he invites you. For those bold enough to open his door, they can "expect to be removed," as stated in the memorandum.

Along with staff not being able to enter his dressing room without an invitation, Harvey also puts an end to what he calls ambushing. "My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me. I want all the ambushing to stop now."

Harvey ends his letter by stating staff shouldn't take offense and the new rules are "for the good of my personal life and enjoyment." Read the entire memo below.

Good morning, everyone. Welcome back.

I’d like you all to review and adhere to the following notes and rules for Season 5 of my talk show. There will be no meetings in my dressing room. No stopping by or popping in. NO ONE. Do not come to my dressing room unless invited.

Do not open my dressing room door. IF YOU OPEN MY DOOR, EXPECT TO BE REMOVED. My security team will stop everyone from standing at my door who have the intent to see or speak to me. I want all the ambushing to stop now. That includes TV staff. You must schedule an appointment.

I have been taken advantage of by my lenient policy in the past. This ends now. NO MORE.

Do not approach me while I’m in the makeup chair unless I ask to speak with you directly. Either knock or use the doorbell. I am seeking more free time for me throughout the day. Do not wait in any hallway to speak to me. I hate being ambushed. Please make an appointment. I promise you I will not entertain you in the hallway, and do not attempt to walk with me. If you’re reading this, yes, I mean you.

Everyone, do not take offense to the new way of doing business. It is for the good of my personal life and enjoyment.

Thank you all,

Steve Harvey

Kevin Hart's latest comedy special, Kevin Hart: Irresponsible, is set to stream on Netflix for all to see. The one-hour stand-up, which was filmed before 15,000 people at the O2 Arena in London, England, will be Hart's fifth comedy special to hit the streaming site.

Piggybacking off of the recent scandals and mayhem, this special will focus on the 39-year-old's friends, family, travel, and a year full of antics that made him "irresponsible."

The stand-up's taping derives from his most recent tour through North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia which kicked off in March 2018, according to Rolling Stone. The special will be available on Netflix on April 2.

The last time Hart was a trending topic was for past tweets that were deemed homophobic and resulted in him canceling his hosting position at the Oscars. Maybe his content will include this unfortunate situation.

Bigger Thomas is a young, black man from Chicago's South Side uninterested in diving into the world of crime that surrounds him. With his leather jacket, beanie and black painted nails, Bigger would much rather make a name for himself that doesn't involve crime and potential jail time.

And then, an opportunity falls into his lap.

Adapted into an HBO series, Richard Wright's Native follows Bigger as he finds himself at the center of a crime. after he accepts a job as a driver for Mr. Dalton. Bigger is thrilled at the $1,000 a weekly payday, and for a while, the sun is beginning to shine in his world. Then Bigger comes in contact with Mr. Dalton's daughter, Mary and the trouble that's been held at the wayside now boils over.

Moonlight's Ashton Sanders embodies the role of Bigger, while fellow Barry Jenkins' alum Kiki Layne plays his girlfriend, Bessie. Rounding out the all-star cast is Sanaa Lathan, David Alan Grier, and Stephen Henderson.

The cast of Queen Sugar plans to welcome a new face to its plot for the upcoming fourth season. On Tuesday (March 19), series creator/director/producer Ava DuVernay announced the addition of R&B legend Tevin Campbell in a guest starring role.

Since August 2018, DuVernay had plans to construct a persona for Campbell after the "Can We Talk" vocalist received controversial commentary on his importance to R&B. "Rebuking any Tevin Campbell slander from millennials and plotting to write him into an episode of Queen Sugar SOMEHOW," the award-winning director wrote on Twitter. "On general principle."

Campbell's film and television resume date back to his memorable appearances on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Moesha, The Parent 'Hood, voicing Powerline in A Goofy Movie, and now OWN's Queen Sugar.

"This is so exciting for me and I want to thank Ava DuVernay. She's a do-er, she kept her word," Campbell said in a video message on Twitter. "I want to thank the cast and the crew for making me feel like I'm home like I've been here for years."

Queen Sugar is set to premiere on OWN on June 12.
